[RFC PATCH 26/56] module: Save module ELF info

Re-patching of module alternatives at runtime requires saving the ELF
information about where those alternatives (and returns, retpolines, etc.)
exist. This information is already saved for livepatch modules, so save it
as well if we may be doing dynamic mitigation reconfiguration.
